Default The continuous form of the verb "to be"

I wonder if somebody might have the time to give me their professional opinion on a handout I've prepared for a group of intermediate students.

The question of when you can say "I was being..." came up in a class yesterday. I don't have much teaching experience (I'm doing a CELTA right now) and my answer may not have been as clear as it could have been, so I made this for next time:

Have I covered everything? I think the language and examples will be easily understood by this group, but I don't know if it's an accurate analysis of how the verb is used in this tense.
